Why thank you! I do pride myself on not being a total idiot (or appearing to not be a total idiot, whichever one works best at the time) and you'll probably never hear me brag about it ever again >:) You probably won't see me write a post this long ever again either ;)

------POSSIBLE TL;DR BEYOND THIS POINT------

I like Ninjas.

I'm male, I'm 24 years old. I live on wonderful Lake Norman, about 20 minutes north of Charlotte, NC. My musical tastes are all over the place. I like pretty much everything EXCEPT country, pop, death metal, and a lot of electronica, mostly the more industrial stuff. So that means I like classical rock, new rock (but only some, a lot of this falls under pop these days) and alternative rock, techno, small amounts of classical, and all kinds of weird stuff in between. I even like some game music. Yeah, call me a geek.

Hmm... I own and operate a technology company that I built from the ground up (but it's still pretty close to the ground, heh.) I play acoustic guitar and sing, and I dabble in live shows and open mic occasionally. I'm also into music production, I'm getting pretty good with FL Studio and Magix these days.

My movie tastes are a bit weird. For starters, Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite movie. I also like most of the stuff Kevin Smith does and the Askewniverse in general. Another movie I really liked was Equilibrium. Besides that, most zombie flicks. This is where it gets a little weird, cause I like all things zombie. I love pretty much every George A. Romero 'Dead' film in existence, and Zack Synder's 'Dawn of the Dead' remake wasn't bad either. I can't wait for the 'World War Z' movie to come out. Max Brooks is an awesome comedy/parody writer. I liked a lot more movies over the years but it'd take too long to list all of 'em.

Besides that stuff, cars. I'm pretty big into cars in general, but my focus right now is off-roading. Heh, call me a redneck if you will, this is North Carolina after all ;) I've got me a modded Jeep Wrangler that I like to play around in.

Every now and then when I'm bored I'll pump out a sketch. Don't have time for sketching much these days. I play video games a little. I used to play em' a lot, but meh, times change.

------POSSIBLE TL;DR BEFORE THIS POINT------

And finally, if you had to put me into a category, I guess I'd be your not-so-typical computer geek with a dash of 'indie click' to taste and touch of 'redneck' thrown in for good measure.

So that's basically me in a wall-of-text monstrosity of a nutshell. Pics and crap on request, of course! I'm on Last.fm and DeviantArt too, if anyone here cares about that kinda crap. And if there's anything else you'd like to know about me, ask away. I've got nothing to hide. Except for the kilo of coke and the three bodies in my trunk. And yes, I swear to <INSERT DEITY OF CHOICE HERE> that's just a joke.

china has been conducting biological experiments in attempts to create the 'perfect' soldier. so far there have been documented cases of individuals with severely reduced intelligence, capable at most of completing a direct simple order. the condition is most often coupled with an increase of muscle mass & inflated pain tolerance levels.

We're doing that to our pro athletes. It's called steroids. lol

I just dont get the whole internet zombie infatuation... I mean, is it all just a joke or do people really believe that this would happen?

It's all just a joke. I don't actually believe we could have a zombie apocalypse. But it's an interesting subject to discuss because many of the ideas you'd put into practice during a zombie apocalypse would also be relevant in any real global disaster situation. Think of full-scale thermonuclear war, which is actually quite possible at any given time with the current political environment. In a zombie apocalypse you'd try to hide from, well, zombies. In a nuclear apocalypse you'd try to hide from raiders. And possibly mutants. In both situations, staying hidden and staying quiet would be the ideal ways to avoid detection, and not get eaten (by zombies, or by cannibalistic raiders.) But I think you get the idea :D

Heh, yeah, that movie is hilarious. I love how they use them as manual labor at the end. Hot Fuzz wasn't bad either.
